Power and Empire Chapter 3689: The Return of the King (27)

The Feshan area is originally high in the east and low in the west. Except for dozens of miles near the coast, it is full of undulating hills. This unique mountainous area has been from the east and west of Obaro a thousand years ago. The temperature of Feshan began to rise in April, and the rainy season came, especially the Feshan area near the coastline. The river gradually merged into a turbulent river, fish jumped out of the water, and birds flew over. sky. Large swaths of wild flowers quickly covered the wasteland outside the city, indicating that time has entered the sometimes violent and sometimes dull summer, and heavy rains have begun to fall on the earth, seeming to herald the arrival of the era of all things rushing.

The dark-haired youth stands in a pavilion in the courtyard of the villa. Outside this garden is another larger garden. In the center stands a magnificent mansion. The Cloud of Dorok serves as the secretly master of the Feshan area. There are many other noble estates of this kind, but this is the only one that can be so refreshing and elegant, because this is the residence of the tulle flower. It was once the other palace of the Feshan royal family in the coastal area. It was built with a view of the sea. On the unreserved cliffs, there are quiet all around, along the wide garden passage paved with gravel. Both sides of the road are planted with exotic flowers, one after another connected fish ponds, artificially piled stone mountains and streams, early in the morning At that time, watching the sun jump out of the horizon from here, it is enough to make people forget the dust,

The emperor also had to admit that the Feishan people living in the mountains almost knew the art of life better than the people in the plains. After all, they were sandwiched between the two camps of the East and the West, and they were also the two cultures of the Europa and the East. At the intersection of, here you can see that several architectural styles exist at the same time,

Like the garden in front of you, it presents a Gaulish-style sculptural cross on the north side, but the unique curved door at the exit of the other end of the road, which is unique to Istanbul, looks down from a height, one side It is the azure blue sea, on the other side are people and streets as thin as ants, and in the distance are rolling mountains like dragons

"There are only two paths to conquer this area. One is to detour from the flat coastline area to the high-altitude area, forming a strategic encirclement of front and back. This was what the powerful emperor of the Istan Empire did. On the one hand, the main force was used to press down Fei Shanjun, and on the other hand, the crown prince led an army to sweep across the coast. However, at the moment when the encirclement strategy was about to be completed, the success failed. The emperor unexpectedly disappeared on the way home, and Fei Shanjun came back across the board. , Hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Istan Empire fell into chaos. The Crown Prince of Istan just went back to grab the throne, but threw hundreds of thousands of troops into the Feshan Mountains, which became the main cause of the fall of the Istan Empire."

The black emperor's voice paused, and he glanced at the tulle flower-lily sitting next to him, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "The other way is to stay high, from higher than Feshan Mountain. For example, driving down from the Bavarian Mesa into the Fei Shan Mountains is equivalent to avoiding Fei Shan’s biggest barrier. The next thing to do is to go all the way down... But I didn’t expect Fei Shan. Shan is a big quagmire. It's no wonder that Saladin I of the Istan Empire was also held back for half a year."

"Three hundred thousand people were killed, the main power of the kingdom was destroyed, and no one can stand it. Now your Majesty has asked Prais to accept the hundreds of former Feshan nobles. Isn’t it afraid of these people? Will it stir the wind and rain when you come back?" Tulle Huaxiu's eyes flashed and looked at him with interest, and her tone was always indifferent and calm.

She knows that the emperor rarely tells people about war, even if the emperor is hailed as a **** of war, but according to the emperor, war is nothing more than killing, killing is not something to show off, he is more like being seen It is the reconstruction after the war, the stability after the turmoil, and the opening of the empire’s new trade routes. These are the things that the emperor considers to be proud of. This time, he accidentally mentioned the cost of making the whole continent talk. The battle of Shan was completely because the emperor wanted to let himself know that for the former nobleman of Fei Shan, the emperor not only did not have the slightest affection, but even had a strong contempt,

"If you knew which Fei Shan nobles were forced to come back, you wouldn't think so"

Unexpectedly by the tulle flower, the emperor’s indifferent face revealed a sly "It is the Eero. These former Feshan nobles ran to the south of Eero and provided financial resources to the nobles in the south of Eero. They counterattacked the Eero capital on the condition that if the northern part of Eero was retaken, they would be allowed to set aside an area in the northern part of Eero to establish a new Feshan Kingdom. Unfortunately, the nobles in the southern Eero took their money, but they were attacking King Eero. In the battle of the capital, they were perfunctory, and in the end they even drove these guys out from the southern part of Eero. Now they dare not take them in except returning to their country, because all countries are afraid that this will become the reason for the empire to use force against them. Such a group of people, you said that if they return to Feishan Mountain without making any noise, I am so sorry to take them in. You know, these people come back with a mortal heart, and they think about how to use themselves. To prove how the empire treated the Feshan nobles brutally, if the empire kills them, it will be what you want!"

This is mainly because just a month ago, a group of former Fei Shan nobles in exile requested to return to Fei Shan, saying that they wanted to return to the roots of the fallen leaves and return to their homeland. The people who were squeezed abroad were extremely miserable. For the return of Fei Shan nobles, Pula Iss is still relatively open, because Prais is a nobleman, and has a special feeling for the pain of subjugation,

Because the Feshan area has a flat coastline, the other areas are large mountains. These areas are unfamiliar to the empire. Although the empire has begun to move the Feshan people from the mountain area to the coastline, But the Feshan people themselves have a very serious hatred of the empire, and the coastal areas are still relatively good. After all, as the coastal areas become prosperous, the Feshan people who have tasted the sweetness of the coastal Feshan people no longer hate the empire’s conquest of Feshan very much. The Feshan people in the region are different. They are the main force of the Feshan people. The empire killed 300,000 Feshan King’s army in the first battle in Bavaria, and most of them were Feshan’s children in the mountainous region. /

While Varysian invaded Feshan from the Bavarian area, the army moved in and attacked the city. Before the blade, all obstacles were smashed. How sharp is the army's front. Varysian is very resistant to the fierce mountain. Naturally, the area was cleansed severely again, and another tens of thousands of people were slaughtered, and the total number was four to five million people.

With such a large-scale population reduction, it is not easy for the Shan Feshan people to let go of their hatred of the empire in just two years. In the past, Feshan was stationed by Valisian. Although the Feshan mountain people hated the empire, After all, I was afraid of being killed by this imperial butcher. In addition, the people's livelihood is dying, and it is impossible to make noise. Now Prais, who is replaced by a civilian job, is different. The empire originally had 200,000 in Feshan and Istan regions. The army has been transferred to the battlefield of the sect nation, and the military repression in Feshan area is empty. Many areas are clearly controlled by the empire, but for the imperial decree, even bandits are rampant.

Every time he receives a message from the Feshan Mountains, Prais feels a headache, and the imperial administrative officials who have been appointed are also gray-white. In just four months, there have been six regional administrative officials. 11 people were killed and wounded and returned to the country. The number of attacks on the guards of the imperial outposts reached 267 times, basically four or five times a day.

For the Feshan Mountains, even Prais, a tough figure, can’t

Now Prais basically puts his center of gravity on the coastline, almost no question about the mountains, because the power in his hands is really limited, the 20,000 imperial troops can protect the stability of the coast area is the limit, as long as these An obscure rebellion in the mountainous region is fine, and this situation has been reported to the emperor. During the Holy Capital War, the emperor was helpless. Therefore, the first stop for the emperor to return to Nordic Barrow was not the turbulent Central Obaro, but the seemingly calm , But Feshan is as dangerous as before a volcano

"Your Majesty wants them to go to Feishan Mountain to stir up riots, and then mobilize the imperial army to quell them?"

Tulle Huali faintly guessed the meaning of the emperor’s words, her pretty face changed slightly, her fingers tightened tightly, Feishan Mountains are very similar to the Dorok Mountains in Tulle Huali’s hometown. Here, Tulle Huali has a feeling of returning to her hometown, so for the people here, the tulle Huali has a special emotion in her heart. They are all mountain people, and they all advocate romance and freedom in the same way.

The emperor naturally saw the change in the expression of Tulle Flower Li, knowing that Tulle Flower Li could not bear the empire's suppression, he waved his hand noncommittal, looked at the veins of the distant mountains, and took a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, he said coldly, "Instigate riots? Don't be kidding. If these people had such courage, how could they flee like a bereaved dog? They came back to die, not because they suddenly had the courage, but because of them. Their belongings are gone, no one had the intention to take them in anymore, and they were driven everywhere, so why not come back and die."

"Then these former Feishan nobles..." Tulle Huali asked hesitantly with a nervous expression

"Plais is going to grant them the post of district administrative officer, mainly in charge of the mountainous area." The emperor regained his gaze from a distance and said categorically

"Imperial administrative officer!" Tulle Huali murmured, glancing at the emperor with a grieving look, and said, "It shouldn't be Prays, but your Majesty, I remember Prays. Si wants to hang all these people to deter all anti-imperial forces in Fei Shan."

The emperor curled his lips with an ugly face. He didn't want to talk about his political officer, but the situation is like this. The speciality of Feshan area is rare in the empire. It has already conquered the area, but he just returned it. Inability to achieve full control. "The Feshan coastal area has gradually stabilized. Although these former Feishan nobles are exiled abroad, they still have quite amazing powers. Many of them are former Feishan Kingdom elites. Familiar, they are far better than the administrative officials in Praias’s Governor’s Mansion"

"You must know that the most troublesome thing for Prayis now is the appointment of the Feshan district administrative officer. The tall Feshan mountains are as if they are covered with a veil. Prayis Si even complained to me, why didn’t Valisian leave so many hidden dangers at the beginning, and killed a lot of people anyway, why didn’t he clean up a few more times, so now he is completely at a loss

Prays said that last winter, the Feshan Mountains were even more severely cold in a century. Numerous Feshan people died from freezing, but even so, the number of people who descended from the mountains to the coastal areas was still only a few hundred thousand people. In the Feshan area, the mountain population still accounts for 70%, and the coastal area is only 30%. This situation cannot continue. The patience of the empire is also limited."

"But if these former Fei Shan nobles really instigated hatred of the empire, wouldn't they be self-defeating at that time?" Tulle Huali's face became more and more confused. Since the emperor knew that the mountain was a problem, he deliberately blocked the former Fei Shan nobles. What to do in there

"Haha, anyway, the fruits are rotten, so it doesn’t matter if you add a few more. It’s good to be rotten together. Since Feishan Mountain is hostile to the empire, let these Feishan nobles manage it. We only need to manage these. Feishan nobles will be fine. Those who make mistakes will naturally be punished. Those who instigate hatred of the empire must be killed. If they do well, they must be praised, and even promoted to a higher position. In the end, the people in Feishan Mountain will find that even if it is Fei The nobles of Shan, are already leaning on the empire, what are they still insisting on there

"But what if these Feshan nobles have been so hostile to the empire"

The "impossible" imperial emperor shook his head. "Although Feshan's main force was destroyed by me in Bavaria, the domestic crown prince is still there, and the number of troops is still as many as 80,000, which is not completely absent. The forces of World War I, but the Fei Shan people themselves have broken their guts, coupled with the loss of mountain superiority, these Fei Shan noble officials have fled before they even fought, and even the tens of thousands of Fei Shan’s troops have been scattered, otherwise Crown Prince Fei Shan Nor will they be angry and succumb to themselves. These people did not hold on to Fei Shan at the time of Fei Shan's demise, let alone now

They came back with a mortal heart, but they were appointed by the empire as regional administrators. Do you think they intended to stay in the mountains where people can starve forever, or come to the prosperous coastal areas? There are always one or two people who will figure it out. The human heart is the most untestable thing. Prais did not send them to the guillotine. They were already looking at not wanting the newly stabilized Feshan coast to flow into a river again. Or the loyalty of these people used to be bought at a considerable price, but now, I am afraid that only a stable development opportunity is enough

"As long as your majesty kills a few people, it will be fine." The beautiful gauze flowery eyes light up, and the glimmer of wisdom flashes. It is touching and heartbreaking. The imperial emperor’s grasp of the human heart, Far more powerful than the control over thousands of troops on the battlefield~ IndoMTL.com~ When it comes to the ability of thunder to transform rain, no one in the entire continent can compare

At this moment, an imperial guard walked over with a thin middle-aged man and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Lord Siegelin is here"

Hearing this name, even the tulle flower-li could not help curiosity. Looking at the middle-aged man next to the guard, his heart was shocked, Siglin, former Martin Liya Sam The commander of the clan army, the famous Martin Liya who emerged in the Battle of the Holy Capital of the South, and he ranked directly in the top fifty. You must know that this Siegling is not well-known in front of him, the only famous Martin Liya. He is the young master of the Ansili family known as the Silver Fox, but his ranking is only 67, and this person jumped to the top 50, because this is the only one who resists the imperial emperor’s shots with one person, and will The legend that the 200,000 Martin Liya remnants brought back to the country. At the beginning of the North-South War, even with the 700,000 Southern Allied Forces and the gathering of famous generals, few people escaped from the imperial emperor, but this person did it by accident. , Entering the top 50 is definitely well deserved.

It’s just that Tulle Huali did not expect to see this person here, and from his look, it can be seen that there is definitely a problem between this person and the emperor. Even if it is indifferent like Tulle, the heart is stormy. Generally, because just two days ago, there was news from the south that in the Martin Liya Kingdom Conference, the major lords simultaneously attacked the Sam tribe, and stood neatly on the side of the abolished former young Sam tribe lord.
